Safety
GB2
This STB has been manufactured to satisfy the international safety standards.
Please read the following safety precautions carefully.
MAINS SUPPLY : 230V AC 50/60Hz
OVERLOADING : Do not overload a wall outlet, extension cord or adapter as this may result in fire
electric shock.
LIQUIDS : The STB shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no objects filled
with liquids, such as base, shall be placed on the apparatus.
CLEANING : Disconnect the STB from the wall outlet before cleaning.
Use a light damp cloth (no solvents) to dust the STB.
VENTILATION : The slots on top of the STB must be left uncovered to allow proper airflow to the
unit. Do not stand the STB on soft furnishings or carpets.
Do not expose the STB to direct sunlight or do not place it near a heater.
Do not stack electronic equipments on top of the STB.
ATTACHMENTS : Do not use any unrecommended attachments as these may cause hazard or
damage the STB.
CONNECTION TO THE SATELLITE DISH LNB
: Disconnect the STB from the mains before connecting or disconnecting the
cable from the satellite dish. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN DAMAGE THE LNB.
CONNECTION TO THE TV
: Disconnect the STB from the mains before connecting or disconnecting the
cable from the satellite dish. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN DAMAGE THE TV.
EARTHING : The LNB cable MUST BE EARTHED.
The earthing system must comply with SABS 061.
LOCATION : Place the STB indoor in order not to expose to lightening, rain or sunlight.
Give a minimum clearance of 10cm from the STB to the products,
such as TV, videotape, and floppy disk, which are susceptible to magnetic
influences. Magnetic field might cause any abnormal symptoms, such as
picture distortion, discoloration to a normal TV.

2. Connect DiSEqC 1.2
3. Connect a Satellite antenna
4. Loop Through
GB4
All our receivers are designed to be DiSEqC 1.0 compatible. This allows multiple antennas
to be connected to the STB simultaneously.
If you have two or more fixed antennas or LNBs, you can use a DiSEqC 1.0 switch.
1. Connect the coaxial cable from the first LNB to the LNB 1 or LNB A input connector of
the DiSEqC switch.
2. Connect the coaxial cable from the second LNB to the LNB 2 or LNB B input connector
of the DiSEqC switch.
3. Do the same for other LNBs.
4. Connect one end of a Coaxial cable to the RF output connector of the DiSEqC switch
and the other end to the LNB IN socket on the STB.
Please refer to page GB39.
To the digital receiver, you can connect either a single satellite antenna directly or
through converter box several antennas or LNB of multi-feed equipment.
You can connect a further Sat-receiver (for example analogue), with the receiver of
common antenna equipment that has satellite signals.
If you have another analogue or digital STB and you wish to use the same LNB then you
can connect it via the loop through. Connect one end of a Coaxial cable to the LNB OUT
on the STB and connect the other end to the LNB IN on your second STB.
1. Connect DiSEqC 1.0
GB5
If you are watching a programme with a Dolby Digital soundtrack (see page GB32) you can
enjoy the higher quality sound of the Dolby Digital audio by connecting the STB to an
external Dolby Digital television or amplifier. Do this by connecting the optical S/PDIF output
of the STB to the optical S/PDIF input of the external Dolby Digital product (television,
amplifier,.....).
HUMAX digital set-top box is a highly sophisticated product - incorporating one of the best
software applications.
Whenever a problem is found with this software or, in fact, extra functions or enhanced
applications are added, the software in the equipment has to be upgraded.
In order to maintain proper performance of the product, it is essential to have the most
up to date software. The latest news and release of software versions may be found at
HUMAX website - http://www.humaxdigital.com.
It is recommended that users register to HCSA (HUMAX Customer Service Area) and
periodically check for the availability of software upgrade.
There are three methods to upgrade the software:
(a) set-top box to set-top box download (copies the software of the main unit into slave unit);
(b) pc to set-top box download (downloads the software directly from pc to the model
requiring upgrade);
(c) OTA (over-the-air) downloads the software where the manufacturer reserves the right to
decide when and where to release through satellite system.
OTA is simply another alternative for downloading software versions.
However, the manufacturer reserves the right to decide when and where this software
upgrade can take place by "beaming" latest software versions over the air via satellite
systems. Note that OTA is only limited to certain geographical regions mainly due to
different satellites having different footprints (area where the signal can be received).
SUSS(TM) is an official trademark and logo for HUMAX loader software to perform OTA.
The software upgrade via satellite system will only occur under the following circumstances:
1) the equipment should have appropriate loader software;
2) the manufacturer decides to release software downloading via a designated satellite
system;
3) the equipment must be "tuned" properly to the same satellite that the manufacturer uses.
